Polygon based events

Community Achivements
Carnival of Brazil
Brazil’s Carnival is an incredible celebration, but it also leads to hundreds of major traffic disruptions, impacting millions. From planned parades to spontaneous street parties, our community in Brazil did an outstanding job managing road closures with the support of local partners.
Croatia Map Raid
The Croatian Community organized its largest map raid to date! Editors from across our global community pitched in to enrich the map in areas in Croatia that needed attention. Shout out to fmis13 and rdnnk for organizing such a successful map raid, with a total of over 130K new segments added!
Community fun and games
Our communities around the world have such creative ways to build relationships and just have fun together! Our Belgian Community created a great game: Test Your Waze Memory! Bring the same fun game to your community by downloading the game graphics here.
